Answer:28 m

Explanation:

Given

Direction is $58^{\circ}$ North of east i.e. $58 ^{\circ}$ with x axis

Also ball moved by 33 m

therefore its east component is 33cos58=17.48 m

Northward component $=33sin58=27.98 m\approx 28 m$

The length and width of a rectangular room are measured to be 3.92 ± 0.0035 m and 3.15 ± 0.0055 m. In this problem you can appro

Pavel [41]

Answer:

A) $A=12.2480\ m^2$

B) $12.2480\pm 0.1029\ m^2$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Length of the room $l= 3.92 ± 0.0035$

Width of the room $w= 3.15 ± 0.0055$

A) Let A be the area of the room

$A=l\times w\\A=3.92\times3.15\\A=12.2480\ \rm m^2$

B)We will calculate uncertainty in each dimension

%uncertainty in length $=\dfrac{0.0035}{3.92}\times 100=0.0892\ %$

%uncertainty in width = $\dfrac{0.0055}{3.15}\times 100=0.0174%$

The uncertainty in area will be sum of uncertainty in length and width

%uncertainty in Area= %uncertainty in length + %uncertainty in width

%uncertainty in Area $=0.0892\ % + 0.0174\ %$

%uncertainty in Area=0.0106

Uncertainty in Area $=0.0106\times 12.2480=0.1029\ \rm m^2$

There Area is $12.2480 ± 0.1029\ \rm m^2$

Why does a tail appear when a comet nears the sun?

ahrayia [7]

It heats up. the ice transforms directly from a solid to a vapor, releasing dust particles. the solar wind sweeps the material and it forms what to appears to be a tail.

What is the anode in an alkaline battery?

andrew-mc [135]

For instance, in an alkaline battery, the anode is typically made of zinc, and manganese dioxide acts as the cathode. And the electrolyte between and inside those electrodes contains ions. ... These free electrons congregate inside the anode (the bottom, flat part of an alkaline battery)

Hope this helps:)

A wooden rod of negligible mass and length 80.0cm is pivoted about a horizontal axis through its center. A white rat with mass 0

algol13

Answer:

The speed of the animals is 1.64m/s.

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and call the mass of the two rats $m_1$ and $m_2$ , and the length of the rod $L$ .

Using the law of conservation of energy, which says the potential energies of the rats must equal their kinetic energies, we know that when the rod swings to the vertical position,

$m_1\frac{L}{2}g -m_2\frac{L}{2}g = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2$

$(m_1 -m_2)g\frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2$ ,

solving for $v$ , we get:

$\boxed{v = \sqrt{\frac{(m_1 -m_2)gL}{(m_1+m_2)}} }$

Putting in the values for $m_1$ , $m_2$ , $g$ , and $L$ we get:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(0.450kg -0.220kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.8m)}{(0.450kg+0.220kg)}}$

$\boxed{ v= 1.64m/s}$

Therefore, as the rod swings through the vertical position , the speed of the rats is 1.64 m/s.
